"Where is he now! I want to see him!" Gerry outraged, blurted into Septi's hotel room as soon as he went to see Adipati.
Gerry, who doesn't know that Septi was all alone in a hotel room, immediately looks for Adipati.
He doesn't care if he would call rude. For him right now all that matters is to meet that fucking guy and ask him to leave Septi because that woman is belongs to him. His beloved woman.
Septi still followed Gerry's footsteps without saying he's not in the hotel room with her.
It would be useless for Septi to say that because certainly that her boyfriend would not believe her and thought that she was lying.
"Where is your husband? Why is she nowhere?" asked Gerry, who was content to walk around in a suite room of the hotels. No room is spared from his moorings.
"He's not here," Septi replied honestly. She chose to be honest.
Gerry furrowed his brow. He glimpsed at Septi, assuring that his beautiful woman wasn't lying right now.
As if she understands at that probing stare of Gerry, Septi snorts. "Why, are you gonna tell me that I'm lying?"
"No! I just want to know where in the world that fucking guy is. Did he leave you alone on the night you were supposed to be together?" Gerry asked inquiries. Gerry immediately believed that something was wrong. Especially when he looks at his dead girlfriend's face. Gerry believes she has been crying because of that guy.
"What's so important that you know about my problems. Don't you care about me anymore?" Septi didn't answer Gerry's questions instantly. She chose to push him away because she got annoyed when she recalled his lie.
"How many times do I have to tell you, Septi Adelia! You're the second most important woman in my life after my Mom!" Gerry answered very seriously.
"If I'm important to you, why did you lie to me? You said you wanted to come to the wedding this afternoon, but you didn't! It's that how you named important?" Septi asked. He's demanding an explanation from Gerry.
Gerry smiled as he saw septi bring down all kinds of accusations. He came to realize that his beloved woman still loved him dearly.
Gerry walked up to Septi who was standing half a yard from him. He had stayed came closer until they were now thirty centimeters away.
"How do you know I'm not coming to that damned wedding, Honey?" Gerry asked her in a soft but firm voice. He rubbed on both Septi's arms.
"Me!" answered Septi curt.
"Why do you think like that?" Gerry asked again.
"Because I didn't see you there. You know, to be honest, I was pretty upset. I don't like being lied to, Gerry!" shouted Septi as she blew her anger off.
Without another word, Gerry hugged Septi's body tightly. He carried the crown of Septi's head affectionately.
Septi didn't refuse at all. She needed a hug from Gerry to relax herself. She's in too much pain today.
"I was coming, Honey. I was there watching the whole thing. I just can't afford to see you hooking up with another guy. No matter how hard I try, I still can't. So I chose to leave without seeing you earlier," said Gerry in a husky voice. A single tear slipped again. But Gerry started to rub it in, didn't want Septi to know he was crying.
Listening to Gerry's words, Septi finally realized that she's biased. Instantly she felt selfish who only cared about her feelings. She seemed unaware of the fact that her lovers were also devastated and injured by her marriage.
Septi hugged Gerry's body right back. She cried out instantly realizing her stupidity.
"I'm sorry for accusing you of anything I want without thinking about your feelings, Gerry!" she blurted in her short breathe. She cried as if she were giving off her sorrow.
"You didn't do anything wrong, Honey! I'm the wrong one." Gerry carved out his embrace. Wiped away the trail of tears on his beloved one cheek too. Truly Gerry hated to see Septi crying.
"I was wrong. I'm sorry!" Septi said, keep apologizing to Gerry.
Gerry smiled. His woman was very stubborn even though she looked very quiet to someone who didn't know her.
"Alright. We were both wrong. So, we forgive each other. No more misunderstandings between the two of us. Whatever it is we have to be honest with each other, no cover-up! Wouldn't you agree, Honey?" Gerry repeated, asking for Septi's opinion.
"Alright, I agree," Septi said as if she was starting to feel better.
"So now it's time for you to tell me. Where did your husband go? Why have you left alone when it's your first night?" Gerry asked while his arm embraced Septi, guiding her to the single sofa they both sat on.
"Can we please not discuss that?" said Septi. She had doubts to tell what Adipati has done today. Septi got certain that if Gerry heard the story, he would go mad and end up teaching Adip a lesson.
"We need to discuss that! Remember what we just agreed on?" asked Gerry as he helped Septi to sit down. He sat next to Septi. Their current seating positions are not very far apart.
"But -" Septi seemed to think. She was reluctant to tell Gerry everything.
"No more excuses, sweetheart. Tell me quickly," Gerry blurted out, pulling out Septi's nose a bit.
"But you must promise me that you will be able to control your emotions, okay?!"Septi warned.
"Trust me, Honey!" Gerry promised. Instantly he felt something was wrong.
Before starts shared her story, Septi took a breath and threw it away slowly. "Well, the man who married me because of an arranged was in the next room. He was with his wife," said Septi quietly. Her eyes welled up with tears again over her poor fate.
"What?! What do you mean by that? Your husband is in the next room with his wife? Isn't his wife are you?" Gerry asked her, didn't quite understand what Septi was saying.
"Yes, I am his wife but out of an arranged marriage. So because he didn't accept this marriage but didn't dare to refuse directly to Mr. Andreas, finally he decided to accept this marriage. But on the same day he married the woman he loved so much. You know, Ger, I was forced to watch both of them get married and even asked to be a witness to both of them!" Septi told Gerry everything in a croak.
Gerry who was listened to all Septi's stories got seriously hurt. He clenched his fist firmly. He can't accept they treat Septi like that.
"And you willing to be the witness of them, even as witnesses of their union, Septi Adelia?" said Gerry with red eyes.
"I was obliged. Adip forced me. But, that's okay. I didn't care he got married again," Septi said the truth.
"That jerk hurt you?" Gerry asked as he found both Septi's wrists bruised. He gently touched that scar didn't want to hurt Septi.
"Yes. He tied me up. Give me a punishment by forcing me to watch them fuck each other, Gerry! That low I am!" screamed Septi, thumping her chest. She cried. Her heart aches when he thought that this is all because of her father who destroyed his own daughter's life.
"Shiit! I had to give that jerk a lesson," Gerry said, then stood up. He wouldn't stay still after seeing his beloved women be insulted and debased.
"Gerry where are you going?" asked septi frantically.
"I wanna find him and make him regret having dared to hurt your feelings!" Gerry replied. After that he stormed off into the next room where Septi's husband and his second wife were.
"Gerry, no! Let him go," said septi hastily, wiping away her trail of tears. She got up and went after Gerry.
But it's too bad Septi can't walk as fast as Gerry. Gerry is currently banging on Adipati's chamber.
"Gerry, we're out of here now!" Septi tried to pull off Gerry's arm who has been controlled by his emotions.
"No! Before I teach him a lesson!" Gerry's refusal is indisputable.
"What's going on," Adipati said as soon as the door opened. He was disturbed by the sound of the door knocking in his room.
Adipati was a little surprised to find his first wife at his door with a man who looked very angry.
"Why do you come here again Septi? Isn't everything we just said very clearly already?" Adipati said with his eyes wide open. He doesn't give a shit about the guy next to Septi.
Gerry's jaw got hard. He ground his teeth. Then without a word sent a single blow to the right of Adipati's stern.
"Son of a bitch!" Gerry shouted.
The ill-prepared Adipati staggered to the rear. The corners of his lips were dripping with fresh blood from Gerry's powerful punch.
"What the fuck!" Adipati snapped disapproved. He wiped the blood off from the corner of his lips.
"That's exactly what you deserve, asshole. Whenever you hurt Septi, you must be ready to mess with me!"
Not afraid, Adipati laughed instead. "How much you're being paid to stand up for her?"
"God damn it! Stop insulting my girlfriend!" Gerry snapped not accepted.
Gerry came back with a blow toward Adipati.
This time Adipati didn't stay still, he hit Gerry back.
There was a battle between Gerry and Adipati. Septi who saw that scene became panicked. She was trying to separate. But she doesn't have enough power.
"What a fuss outside, Babe. Who the hell is coming?" Sonya asked from the inside. She walked casually toward the door of the hotel room.
"Oh my, Adipati! What happened?" Sonya shouted out to find Adipati lying on the floor. Gerry sat down over Adipati's body, continuously beating him.
"Honey! Help me!" Adipati screamed understandably against Gerry.
"Gerry stop! Stop I said! If you won't listen to me, from now on I don't want to know you anymore," Septi threatened.
Heard Septi's threat that seem so serious, Gerry finally had to stop. Although he was not satisfied yet.
"Fortunately there is Septi. If didn't, you'll be home with just your name!" Gerry snapped at Adipati's battered face.
"Gerry, that's enough. Let's get out of here!" Septi hugged Gerry's arms intend to beckon him to leave.
"Damn you thug!" Sonya shouted. She immediately helped Adipati to his feet.
"This is just the beginning. There will be more, more and more! If you two dare to hurt Septi again!" Gerry blurted with no joke.
